Chapter Summary
Liu Ning and the others were almost asleep when someone told them this, so they got up, did a quick headcount, and then obediently followed the others out to line up. After all, there was so much labor available these days; you could easily find many people, and few cared about your living conditions. Everyone wants to work, but there are only so many positions available." Just as Liu Ning was about to extend his observation, a voice came from the loudspeaker inside.
Liu Ning and the others were almost asleep when someone told them this, so they got up, did a quick headcount, and then obediently followed the others out to line up. The new clothes were slightly more comfortable than the old ones, which suggested that they had been identified. About four of them were taken out. According to the people outside, there seemed to be something in their clothes. Two of them were kicked out, and the third tried to go with them, but unfortunately, he couldn't leave and was taken to another courtyard. Liu Ning guessed that the third guy was probably in grave danger. If they found something, getting out wouldn't be easy; he would have to leave with his life.
What happened next made Liu Ning even more bewildered. They were supposed to be assigned new accommodations, but Liu Ning never expected they'd be given single rooms. He had previously felt that sharing a room with several people was the proper treatment, and he felt that dozens of people sharing a room wouldn't be unreasonable. After all, there was so much labor available these days; you could easily find many people, and few cared about your living conditions. If you demanded everything and complained about everything, you shouldn't be looking for work; no one would want to hire you. So what was going on? They'd given single rooms? Were they really here to be menial laborers? Liu Ning was completely dumbfounded.
What puzzled Liu Ning was something else entirely. There was only a bed in the room; not even a stool or chair. What was going on? Wasn't this supposed to be a living place? If it were, they should at least have some basic necessities provided, but there was nothing there. However, someone delivered their supplies to the door—a whole large box of things. All of this was brought by Liu Ning and his companions. The people here hadn't provided them with anything; they'd just delivered it to the door and that was it. They were left to fend for themselves.
After doing all that, the guards at the gate said that they could move around in the yard before 8 p.m., as long as they didn't leave the yard, they could do whatever they wanted, but fighting was absolutely forbidden. Liu Ning obediently went out for a stroll and found that the surrounding walls were over 6 meters high and had iron mesh on top. It wouldn't be easy to get out, just like in a prison. There were doors on both sides, and apart from the guards, no one else probably had the keys. Even if they did, with such a dense guard on the outside, it would be impossible to escape. These people had turned this place into a prison.
There were even some observers on top of the wall. Everyone was feeling uneasy. They had all come here to work, but look at the situation! It was as if they had been placed under guard. Were they all prisoners? If they weren't prisoners, what was going on? What benefit did they get from watching them so closely? They were just ordinary people. Even if they were talking about destructive power, it probably wasn't much. Besides, everyone came here to work; why would they want to cause trouble for themselves? Many people had questions, but no one voiced them. After all, they were all here to earn money, and if others didn't say anything, they wouldn't ask—better to avoid trouble.
At this moment, Liu Ning released his system to check the surrounding situation. There were about 40 people in the courtyard. In Liu Ning's mind, there should be similar courtyards around, since if it was for arranging servants, these people should be concentrated in one place for easier management. However, after Liu Ning's system finished observing, he was greatly surprised. There were no other courtyards around. Liu Ning's courtyard was isolated. Within a radius of about 50 meters around this courtyard, there were no buildings at all. Instead, there were some machine guns and other weapons, specifically aimed at the gate of this courtyard. This was quite remarkable.
If anyone had gone out, those machine guns would probably have opened fire. Seeing this, Liu Ning silently mourned for the people in the courtyard. Don't be so happy now, you've fallen into their trap. I just don't know what they need so many ordinary people for. What help can these ordinary people give them? At the current level of the Fusang Martial Arts School, ordinary people can't be of much help anymore.
"It's break time, almost 8:00 PM. Come and collect your chamber pots. If anything happens tonight, you can take care of it in your room. The central air conditioning system will help ventilate the room. No matter what happens outside, no one is allowed to come out. If anyone dares to step out of their room, they can forget about working here tomorrow. Don't think we can't handle this. We know you went through a very rigorous selection process. Many people want to get in but don't have the chance. So I'm reminding you to cherish your positions. If someone else takes your place, don't blame me for not warning you. Everyone wants to work, but there are only so many positions available."
Just as Liu Ning was about to extend his observation, a voice came from the loudspeaker inside. It sounded like the guy Liu Ning and the others had met for the first time. But whoever came here had to listen to them obediently. If they didn't keep quiet, they might be treated badly. Liu Ning, like the others, went to the door to collect his chamber pot. This company was really good; they even prepared something like this for you. Of course, it wasn't that they were particularly thoughtful. The reason they prepared it for you was probably because they had some secrets they didn't want you to see. After Liu Ning collected one, he looked at the others. Everyone's faces were filled with doubt, but their bodies were very honest; they all went back to their rooms.
